Is it just me, or do the hand launches seem to have an unrealistic amount of force behind them? I have never been able to throw my model into the air with the amount of force simulated.
In the sim, the aircraft are thrown for a fixed amount of time at a fixed g-load. The toss is 3 g's. So for a 4 lb airplane, the toss force is 12 lbs for a set amount of time. If the aircraft weighs 30 lbs, then the toss force is (gulp) 90 lbs. Yes, that's a lot, but we wanted people to be able to toss any aircraft in the sim.
